Inputs param causes parsing errors

[kvaghela]

Hi,
I've also failed to get the inputs to work. It can only use the default {}, any data within throws parsing errors.
Tried inputs: {"name": "test"} and inputs: {"name": "test"}
parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 3

It's a real shame as it's a good function. @keithconvictional Any thoughts on why the inputs don't work?

Thanks,
Kunaal

Got this working now. On your downstream repo setup workflow_dispatch to take inputs e.g.

on:
workflow_dispatch:
# Inputs the workflow accepts.
inputs:
testurl:
description: 'Which URL to test with'
default: 'http://abcd.com'
required: true

From your invoker repo yaml using trigger-workflow-and-wait, add this tag

inputs: '{ "testurl" :"http://xyz.com" }'

do we add it like this?

needs: [PublishPackages, SetVersion]
steps:
- name: Trigger package update in VSDavinci
uses: convictional/[email protected]
with:
inputs: '{ "testurl" :"http://xyz.com" }'
owner: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
